Whatever you received in your email like you received an airdrop and you can get it when you import the wallet that is sent in your email which is what you used as an example. The only thing that will happen is you will indeed be able to import the wallet or open the wallet but you cannot sell or transfer the token (airdrop) and if you did sent ETH for example to the wallet then the scammer will transfer it to their wallet right away and the next thing you see is there is no balance left. Anyway, that kind of scheme is already known by most people but thanks for sharing for others to know as there might be someone who doesn't know about this scheme.

Airdrops are means by which scams  take place. Most airdrops received are basically from hackers who accessed people details as a result of their hack. It is not advisable to use your main email for most online crypto stuffs because you never can tell when they will carry out their acts.

So one would need to be very careful how they click links they see in their message box.

In the early days of altcoin projects it is through airdrops that they spread the news of the coin. Once many people get a few token they tend to focus on that project and this way some could even invest into it. This way the community of the project increases. This was the aim of airdrops during the early days of cryptocurrency but right now this airdrops are strategies by scanners to get into once wallet. Immediately an airdrop demands purchasing gas fee then it is likely a scam. Another is the linking of once wallet directly to the site of the project doing the airdrop.

Well, many of these newbies are thinking that they shouldn't miss any airdrop because it's a free money for them. Unknowingly, they're targeted by these scammers/hackers waiting for them to bite the bait. It's not actually mail but an e-mail. Because mails are paper based and these scammers are sending these scam details through our emails.

Take note that gmail is an email service and it's not only them that provides it. Technically, every email service is prone to these attackers as it's easy as 1-2-3 to send email randomly to anyone as long as you know the email addresses of the receivers regardless of what service or provider they are using.

I agree, I had received a lot of mail about airdrops, and many of them even stated the same project in different email addresses.  All I do is just ignore them, I don't even dare to open them since I know the fact that airdrops like these are just bait to phish our wallet information.

We must be very vigilant to this kind of phishing/scamming strategy so we better not get too greedy and blinded by the rewards since most airdrop if legit costs too little to compromise our wallet information.

Yes, there are many ways that scammers use to trick their victims. The easiest way is to send a mass email offering the promise of free profits, then they will ask for a certain amount of funds to be transferred or worse, they will send a phishing web address. I am quite careful in reading emails, if it provides an offer with big profits and is not logical then I will ignore it.

I think the era of altcoins is over, although there are some airdrops that provide tokens for free and have high prices such as uniswap and sui, but they are very rare. I don't want to expect much from the airdrop

If anyone ask you private key, mnemonic seed of your wallet, they are scammers.

Even if airdrop does not ask for private key, mnemonic seed, airdrop serves nothing than expose people with new projects that mostly are scam projects. By exposing people through airdrops, those projects can attract investor capital to their scam projects. If you don't lose money by wallet hacks, you later will lose money by buying and holding their scam tokens.

@OP you're a hypocrite, if you said airdrop is scam, bounty is also scam if the funds isn't escrowed and not paid with top 50 coins.

You were joined 🚧 [BOUNTY] Pepemo | Meme, AI, Fun! Break the Matrix PepeMo! where this shitcoin is only worth $0.00000000003641, this is definitely scam.

This is my counter advice: @OP, you should be aware and avoid to join any bounty because it's scam.

Ignoring all notifications that come via email or private messages via Telegram and other social media is better than being tempted by big prizes offered by scammers. Always avoid connecting a personal wallet to their platform to receive airdrop rewards as it can threaten all your assets. Instead of being tempted by offers of big prizes offered by scammers, you have to be realistic by prioritizing the safety of your assets from hacking because you want to make money easily.

The entrance through email messages, where even some of the messages also end up in the spam box, is the easiest way for fraudsters to carry out their actions and the victims are definitely beginners who are still not very smart in the crypto space. And it cannot be denied that this is still happening today so we need to provide a better understanding for beginners in terms of entrusting airdrops or messages about airdrops that come in via their email messages.

I will not blame airdrops completely for this kind of event because of the many airdrops there are definitely still genuine ones like those made by well-known exchanges now. But because there are now more and more airdrop makers and most of them were deliberately created by irresponsible developers. So we airdrop lovers really need to be careful about this because fraudsters will never stop making traps for everyone through anything, including through airdrops.

Many newbies think that some of these airdrops are legit, but after giving much of their time to it, they later find out that they are fake and not legit. The worst part of it is that they waste their money buying data to claim those airdrops and time wasted too.
Lolz, some, after calculating the amount they will receive, might end up telling other people who don't know about it to join and even putting their money there just to claim those airdrops. I have seen some airdrops where, after everything, nothing profitable comes out of it, so we should be vigilant of those false airdrops.

If you find money on the ground, this does not mean that you will find it daily at a pace that enables you to pay all your obligations. This is the same behavior that encourages people to airdrop, as there is a small possibility that one of several hundred of them will make a profit. However, this small gain makes people rush to it as long as it is written "Free" on them, but they do not feel that this free price comes with a price, either by trying to steal them, stealing their data, or wasting their time on worthless tokens.

Ignore every free Airdrop that comes to you, as you will lose a thousand dollars every few years, and use this time to learn something useful that will give you a continuous and guaranteed gain instead of dreams that may not came

Airdrops have become the playground for scammers so as much as possible, we should be aware of it and avoid participating in any suspicious airdrop as that will only steal our funds without us knowing. And while our Gmail has become an avenue for fake airdrops that keep coming, then we should learn to educate ourselves not to fall on their traps. Otherwise, these fake airdrops will continue to scam innocent and greedy people.

Lack of information and greed is the main reason why many people become victims of scam. If you don't want to be a victim of these scams just focus on only Bitcoin. There is also a need to ignore all those airdrop ads that always come with offers to make one rich overnight. Sometimes these scammers partner with some celebrities to promote these scam projects. It is now popular to see some celebrated actors, sportsmen or even comedians endorsing this project. Engaging in proper research about a project and controlling the drive to get rich quickly should be encouraged.
